Acts Chapter 9
Paul's conversion and zeal. Peter heals Eneas and raises up Tabitha to
life.
9:1. And Saul, as yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against
the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest
9:2. And asked of him letters to Damascus, to the synagogues: that if he
found any men and women of this way, he might bring them bound to
Jerusalem.
9:3. And as he went on his journey, it came to pass that he drew nigh to
Damascus. And suddenly a light from heaven shined round about him.
9:4. And falling on the ground, he heard a voice saying to him: Saul,
Saul, why persecutest thou me?
9:5. Who said: Who art thou, Lord? And he: I am Jesus whom thou
persecutest. It is hard for thee to kick against the goad.
9:6. And he, trembling and astonished, said: Lord, what wilt thou have
me to do?
9:7. And the Lord said to him: Arise and go into the city; and there it
shall be told thee what thou must do. Now the men who went in company
with him stood amazed, hearing indeed a voice but seeing no man.
9:8. And Saul arose from the ground: and when his eyes were opened, he
saw nothing. But they, leading him by the hands, brought him to
Damascus.
9:9. And he was there three days without sight: and he did neither eat
nor drink.
9:10. Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias. And
the Lord said to him in a vision: Ananias, And he said: Behold I am
here, Lord.
9:11. And the Lord said to him: Arise and go into the street that is
called Strait and seek in the house of Judas, one named Saul of Tarsus.
For behold he prayeth.
9:12. (And he saw a man named Ananias coming in and putting his hands
upon him, that he might receive his sight.)
9:13. But Ananias answered: Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how
much evil he hath done to thy saints in Jerusalem.
9:14. And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that
invoke thy name.
9:15. And the Lord said to him: Go thy way: for this man is to me a
vessel of election, to carry my name before the Gentiles and kings and
the children of Israel.
9:16. For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's
sake.
9:17. And Ananias went his way and entered into the house. And laying
his hands upon him, he said: Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus hath sent me,
he that appeared to thee in the way as thou camest, that thou mayest
receive thy sight and be filled with the Holy Ghost.
9:18. And immediately there fell from his eyes as it were scales: and he
received his sight. And rising up, he was baptized.
9:19. And when he had taken meat, he was strengthened. And he was with
the disciples that were at Damascus, for some days.
9:20. And immediately he preached Jesus in the synagogues, that he is
the son of God.
9:21. And all that heard him were astonished and said: Is not this he
who persecuted in Jerusalem those that called upon this name and came
hither for that intent, that he might carry them bound to the chief
priests?
9:22. But Saul increased much more in strength and confounded the Jews
who dwelt at Damascus, affirming that this is the Christ.
